*debt incurred after separation, if the debt was incurred to maintain family property.


The spouses' right to a share in the family property and their duty to share in the family debt happens when the spouses separate. Separation doesn't always happen when someone moves out. Spouses can be separated while living together, as long as one of them has said the relationship is over and then the couple has behaved as if it was over, for example by stopping sleeping together or eating together, and stopping doing chores for each other.
